Length 7350 yards
Slope 139
Rating 76.0

Two 18-hole courses rest on the 900-acre retreat that is all about golf -- not condos or summer homes. Panther Lakes is the flashier of the two designs at Orange County National, most say, because no two holes are the same. The playing surfaces are lush and the topography is so varied in some areas, some have a hard time believing they're in Florida. The architect made good use of the rolling meadows, grasslands, wetlands and lakes. Visually rich elements saturate the 7,295-yard design.

Weekend round with Family & Friends

I would say that OCN courses are always in great condition but the current conditions were the best that I have ever seen there. A family member that was visiting from Virginia kept raving about it was the nicest course he had ever played. Tee boxes and fairways were amazing and the greens were a perfect and pure as you could ever hope for.

Don’t Waste the Money or Time

The ranger was insufferable. The greens were horrible. Nothing special or spectacular about the course. Played other courses in the area that blew it away.

It’s OCN what more can you say

It begins with Mike in the pro shop. A warm and friendly guy extremely courteous, and professional. He certainly excels in customer service. The starter was a bit short but understandable with the pace of play being slowed down due to CPO and tee times backing up slightly. As for the course, great layout and in prime shape for golf season.

OCN never disappoints. The greens on Panther were a fast and rolled true. I’ll continue to play every time I’m in town.
